Chapter 30: The Eve of Departure
Late at night, everything is silent. In a lush bamboo forest south of Wancheng, Wu Yunlu was confronting a middle-aged man who looked very thin.
"Yunlu, the Dao of Survival has fallen apart, Liu Tianshi is also dead, and now there is only one Lu envoy left in the General Dao, what is the purpose of you coming to see me today?"
"You're doing things for people right now, aren't you?" Wu Yunlu said lightly.
"If we and other people don't depend on the powerful, how can we survive?"
"I heard you're going on a mission recently?"
The man frowned, "It's none of your business. Don't interfere with it. ”
"Even if your master is dealing with women, children and old people?" Wu Yunlu's tone was agitated: "Seek to live, seek to live, seek to live, seek to survive, and live to live!" But now in order to make a living, do you want to kill women, children, and old people? ”
He was silent for a moment, "So what, hundreds of people in Nanyang can live, and whoever they kill is also killed!" ”
Wu Yunlu threw him a note, "Whoever you kill is also killed, but if you kill someone, hundreds of people are alive or dead, look at this thing!" ”
Wu Yunlu is gone.
The man read a few ink words on the paper by the moonlight, and couldn't help laughing miserably: "The cunning rabbit is dead, is the lackey cooking?" ”
In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Wen came again in a hurry to eat, and under the angry eyes of everyone, he ate calmly.
Zheng Wen still ate five points full, but he was very satisfied with the quality of the food.
Zheng Sheng pulled Zheng Wen into the study to talk secretly.
Zheng Wen ate well, and was more interested in the business that Zheng Sheng said: "Shizi, what kind of business is there?" ”
Zheng Sheng thought for a while, "Cousin, let's not talk about business first, can I ask some questions?" ”
"What kind of questions, the prince just asks."
"The day before yesterday, before Mrs. Han left, she talked about the incident." Zheng Sheng said word by word.
Zheng Wen's face changed, and he was silent.
"Don't worry, cousin, I'm just curious, and isn't this matter basically public now? I just wanted to know more about it. Zheng Sheng said slowly.
"Actually, there's nothing you can't say." Zheng Wen said, "In the third year of Xianning, the Baling Han clan was wiped out. ”
The Han family is Mrs. Han's maiden family. In 275, they were also captured and imprisoned. The difference is that two years later, the Han family was wiped out. There were no false accusations this time, the evidence was conclusive.
But the Han clan was wiped out suddenly, and the exterminated didn't know how to leak the news.
Zheng Yuan and the head of the Han family are close friends, and when the Han family rebelled, the head of the Han family and Zheng Yuan discussed a joint uprising, but Zheng Yuan hesitated, and at this time, the Han family plotted against the Zhu clan. This incident gave Zheng Yuan a great shock.
"Is it Zheng Ming's secret?" Zheng Sheng asked.
"Probably. I remember that my father once convened my brother Zheng Han, Zheng Ming, and me to discuss this matter. Because Zheng Han strongly objected, his father hesitated. At that time, Han's plan was very secretive, and even Han's just had the idea of rebellion. The head of the Han family found his father, just to join forces. If it wasn't for the problem on Han's side, it could only be me, Zheng Han, and Zheng Ming. My eldest brother was against this in the first place, and I naturally didn't tell the truth. ”
Zheng Sheng nodded: "Then how did Mrs. Han know?" ”
Zheng Wen sighed, "Probably Zhou Lin and Zhou Qiaomu told her, right?" Zhou Qiaomu was already dissatisfied with Han Shangyi's marriage to Zheng Ming, and told her the truth, still thinking that if she left Zheng Ming, he could relive his old dream, right? ”
"Zhou Lin Zhou Arbor?" Zheng Sheng asked, "Who the hell is this?" Although Zheng Sheng had heard it several times, he still had a vague impression of this person.
"Actually, Zhou Lin and Han Qing should have been a couple." Zheng Wen smiled, "However, the head of the Han family doesn't like Zhou Lin, a martial artist, and he likes Zheng Ze and Zheng Ziqing, who also admire Han Qing. Coupled with the relationship between his father and the head of the Han family, Zheng Meng can be regarded as a cross-sword to win love. ”
Zheng Sheng suddenly said, "Mrs. Han must have been a great beauty when she was young, right?" ”
Zheng Wen glanced at him, "Well, if I hadn't been born ten years early, I would definitely ask to marry her." I remember that later, Zheng Miao also wanted Han Shangyi to find Zhou Qiaomu and ask Zhou Qiaomu to help him escape. ”
"You know that, too?" Zheng Sheng asked in surprise, this is the meaning of Mrs. Han's other words, right?
"Actually, it's a guess." Zheng Wen smiled, "Han Shangyi is a good woman, she somehow had a close relationship with Zhou Lin during that time. As soon as she said it that day, I figured it out. ”
"Zheng Meng told the Han family, and asked his wife Han Qing to get close to Zhou Lin, just to get out." Zheng Wen sighed, "His temperament has become more and more impenetrable in those years, more and more radical and unscrupulous." ”
"So, Shizi, you must be careful of him." Zheng Wenpang showed a rare serious expression on his face, "This person may really be able to carry forward the Zheng family, but I'm afraid that he will directly ruin everyone." ”
Zheng Sheng was silent for a while, "I'll be careful." ”
"Alas! Shizi, I'm here to talk about business today, why did you talk about these things? Zheng Wen smiled and said, "What kind of business does the prince want to discuss?" ”
Zheng Sheng got up and took a few pieces of paper from the bookshelf: "This is it." ”
Zheng Wen took it: "Paper? This paper ...... Hiss! Zheng Wen's thoughts went blank for an instant, "This, this paper, how can there be such a good paper?" ”
"This is the paper of my secret method." Zheng Shengdao.
"I can't be the master, I'll go to the head of the house. Son, the secret method must be preserved! You wait, I'll be back later! I'll just take one of this paper. Zheng Wen carefully took a piece of paper.
Zheng Sheng watched him leave excitedly. Zheng Sheng knew that the paper could cause a sensation.
After learning about some of Zheng Ming's antecedents, Zheng Sheng felt his ruthlessness even more. But since he is already on the opposite side of Zheng Ming, what Zheng Sheng can choose is to strive for more support, stir-fried vegetables and soy milk are counted as one. Paper is the heaviest chip.
Zheng Sheng didn't know how strongly this paper would have a impact on Jin Paper. Perhaps someone will resist this paper, and some will even come and steal his secret method. But at least it will be a talisman for him.
Soon, Zheng Yuan and Zheng Wen came over together. Zheng Yuan's face turned red, and Zheng Sheng felt that he was a little too excited.
"Kewu, did you really make this paper?" Zheng Yuan asked tremblingly.
"Yes and no." Zheng Sheng said, "In fact, ordinary paper only needs to add an additional process to make such paper." Uncles and cousins, you must not tell the outside world. ”
"Good! Good! Zheng Yuan said excitedly. This is a treasure that can be passed down to the world! Kewu, you have to protect it! ”
Zheng Sheng nodded.
"Also, where did you get this secret method?" Zheng Yuan asked again.
"From an ancient book." Zheng Sheng said with a smile. "I saw it when I was three years old."
"Three-year-old? Are you literate at the age of three? Zheng Wen exclaimed.
Zheng Sheng was helpless, and the more the lie seemed to be said, the more outrageous it became.
Zheng Sheng then assured that he was the only one who knew the secret method of this kind of paper.
Zheng Yuan and Zheng Wen began to discuss how to better publicize and use this kind of paper.
"Uncle, if you can go to Luoyang City to publicize, it will definitely have a better effect." Zheng Sheng proposed.
Zheng Wen thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not good, although our Nanyang Zheng clan has some ability in Jingbei, we can keep it." But in Luoyang, it is impossible for us to keep the secret method of this paper. ”
"Okay." Zheng Sheng shuddered when he thought of the scene when he was imprisoned just to make paper.
Zheng Sheng also told Zheng Wen that the output of this paper would not be too high, and asked him not to promise a large amount of money.
"Scarcity is precious, I understand this truth." Zheng Wen said with a smile.
